The US is now perceived as a "bigger enemy" in Pakistan than India, cricketer-turned- politician Imran Khan has said, while voicing concern that
his country is "petrified" it could be bombed every time a terror attack takes place in India, US or Europe.

Addressing a gathering of students at Columbia Journalism School here, Khan said thanks to the American policy in Pakistan, a majority of Pakistanis
now perceive US to be a bigger enemy than India.

"What the American policy has achieved in Pakistan is something which is almost impossible to imagine. About 80 per cent of Pakistanis perceive US to
be a bigger enemy than Indians" even though Pakistan and India have fought four wars, he said.

"Today America is perceived as a bigger enemy, yet we are supposed to be allies."

And that was published a few days ago... with the recent killing of 28 Pakistani soldiers, you betcha it ``confirmed`` their belief that America is
the greatest threat to Pakistan, not India.

We've been "pussyfooting" around in Pakistan for a very long time, true, and we had to go in there secretly to get Bin Laden, in what is presumably
allied territory (Pakistan) in this war, to find that they had been providing safe-haven for the enemies we are fighting, and covertly aiding them in
the war in Afghanistan.

Pakistan hasn't been directly "attacked" by the USA, and this NATO raid may not be "it" but it is a good start.

Maybe China would like to overcome India in it's quest for domination. Once upon a time India had famously well-trained soldiers called Ksatriya
warriors. The Ksatriyas had interesting techniques such as spikes on their fingers. They would shoot bows from atop a horse. I have a book describing
some of these things and their code of honor. It is called The Bodhisattva Warriors, interestingly really about the Shaolin monks, but it goes into an
interesting history of Ksatriya as well.
I once had an odd encounter with an Indian policeman on the banks of the Ganges....hahaha he likely was amused by the muddied American girl
floundering alone in 35 degree weather at 4 am on a muddy bank with boots in tow. He was quite polite and asked if I needed help.

Well I came across this rather interesting article. I'll let it speak for itself.
But, consider the source so...

India's
“jitters” and fears of encirclement by Chinese influence in South Asia reflected an “inferiority complex” and “loud jealousy” over
China's rise, State-run Xinhua news agency said in a commentary on Thursday.

India was “living under the delusion that China lays out a strategic chessboard to lock up and contain India,” said the commentary, the latest of
a series of editorials in China's State media outlets that have taken a hard line on India following disagreements over ONGC Videsh's cooperation
with Vietnam in the disputed South China Sea.

While it struck a similar tone voiced by a number of Communist Party-run papers in recent weeks

What the West/China need to do is go to the table with the Pakistani government, demand international ‘auditing’ of the Pakistani ISI before any
more money is given to the country, and watch them try to squirm out of their seats. India knows how corrupt and barbaric these people are, the West
just figured that out when Bin Laden was found not too far away from a Pakistani military base, and China will learn after they have a separatist war
on their hands with their enemies being financed with money which they gave to Pakistan.

Well that cats out of the bag.
Here are a few view points. Again consider the sources...

The Chinese government blamed the local Muslim minority for weekend
violence in the northwestern province of Xinjiang (see map) that left at least 18 people dead in three separate attacks. According to Chinese
authorities, the suspects trained in camps over the Pakistan border.

In the city of Kashgar, where the attacks took place, tensions constantly simmer between the indigenous Muslim Uighur minority and the Chinese
government. The Uighurs accuse the government of religious repression, "plundering" the region's oil resources, and bringing scores of ethnic Han
Chinese to the region to give them a majority, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Communist leaders in
China's north-western region of Xinjiang say they have dealt a serious blow to ethnic separatism. They acknowledged that ethnic unrest had unsettled
the region during the past two years, but said a campaign of patriotic education had helped root out violent separatists.

The region has experienced sporadic unrest for the last two years, and anti-Chinese riots by members of the region's Muslim Uighur majority last year
led to a round of executions. These were followed by a series of bomb attacks in the region's capital.

Pakistan — China has agreed to immediately provide 50 JF-17 fighter jets to Pakistan, a major outcome of a visit by Prime Minister Yousaf Raza
Gilani to Beijing this week, Pakistani officials said Thursday.

"Today, US-India
relations are strong and growing. Our military-to-military engagement has increased steadily over the past 10 years and now includes a robust slate of
dialogues, military exercises, defence trade, personal exchanges and armaments cooperation," says the Defence Department’s (Pentagon) Deputy
Assistant Secretary for South and Southeast Asia Bob Scher. He was briefing the media on the Pentagon's November 2011 Report to Congress on US-India
Security Cooperation.

A major finding of the report is that the value of defence sales from the US to India has risen from zero to $6 billion in less than a decade.

Key Component

The India-US New Framework Agreement (2005) provides the structure for the bilateral defence relationship. Additional framework agreements guide
developments in areas such as counterterrorism and maritime security.

The Pakistani nuke situation is the powder keg. One of those falls into the hands of extremists operating in Pakistan or extremists in western China
and then we have a serious problem. Pakistan has some serious house cleaning to do. If they cannot reasonably address the matter on their own? Then an
outside force must intervene for the stability of the region and more or less the world? Personally, I don't care who does it. You name it China, the
US, or even India could take the initiative for all I care. Better yet, they can join up. A loose nuke falling into the hands of extremists is a very
real possibility?

Well India still has major issues over the Mumbai attack.

Just today as a matter of fact they reiterated their demands for action by the Pakistani Government. Somebody should tell India not to hold it's
breath...

NEW DELHI: India told Pakistan Saturday it was awaiting “decisive” action against the perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai
attacks as the country marked the third anniversary of the carnage that claimed 166 lives.

The 2008 attacks in Mumbai saw 10 heavily armed gunmen storm a host of targets including luxury hotels, a Jewish centre and a train station.

“We are still waiting for Pakistan to act decisively to bring to justice the perpetrators of the mindless violence that was unleashed on Mumbai,”
Indian Foreign Minister SM Krishna told reporters in New Delhi.

No doubt those Pakistani troops killed was ones directly aiding the Taliban troops coming back over the boarder after a well earned break or something
of the likes?,

It certainly has to be something along those lines with out a shadow of a doubt, what makes me laugh is Pakistan are trying to act like they was
innocent or something, they have probably watched them for miles with spy drones then as soon as they got to the boarder...
